LSU played the second half Saturday without linebacker Jacob Phillips after his ejection for targeting late in the first half against Southeastern Louisiana.
Phillips hit Southeastern quarterback Chason Virgil just after the quarterback released a pass that landed incomplete. The play did not initially draw a penalty from on-field officials, but a video review determined the ruling of targeting.
Because the penalty occurred in the first half, Phillips will not have to sit out any part of the game next week at Auburn. Had the penalty occurred after halftime, he would be required to sit out the first half of the next game.
